About this sermon

5/28/2023 We tend to view events and circumstances in life as either “fair” or “unfair”. Sometimes it’s hard to reconcile situations that don’t make sense to us. What do you do when God doesn’t do what you want Him to do? In Acts 12, two of Jesus’ original Twelve Disciples, James and Peter, are arrested by King Herod because of the on-going persecution against Christians. Peter gets miraculously delivered from prison by an angel sent by God, but James gets martyred. Why did God rescue one but allow the other to be executed? Pastor Gary tackles this theological dilemma in today’s study entitled, “That’s Not Fair!” 00:00 - Introduction 18:12 - What do you do when God doesn’t do what you want Him to do? 18:30 - 1) God’s ways are HIGHER; some things will simply be a mystery to us and difficult to understand until we are with Jesus 22:12 - 2) God’s nature is GOOD; He always has our best interest at heart (Psalm 100:5) 27:03 - 3) God’s grace is SUFFICIENT; He will strengthen us in our weaknesses (2 Cor. 12:8-10) 28:56 - 4) God’s justice is PERFECT; He is going to sort it all out in the end (Luke 3:5-6) ABOUT US: https://cornerstonechapel.net/hello GROW: If you made a decision to accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior text "I have decided" to (703)844-9969.
